The London Engineer describes the
compression of beech and other woods
by means of hydraulic presses, under
the patent Of Mr.. Robert Pickles, Of
Bromley, England. who makes this
wood a speciality for shuttles and for
gearing. The compression of the wood
improves its w~ear-resistIng qualities to
a degree that would be deemed impos-
slble. The wood is first sawn into ST.
yes necessary for making shuttles or
cogs and naturally dried. IL is then
put under a pressure of about fifteen
tons per square inch, in a rectangular
space in the press, holding six shuttle
blocks, three side by side and two deep.
Above is a metal block made so as to
fit the space in the ram. The depth of
the blocks before compression Is 24
inches, which is reduced to II inches.
The woods generally used for this pur-
pose are beech, cornell and persimmon.
The gram isvery close, and the weight
OF compressed beech is considerably
greater than that OF. lockwood, and
when compared with uncompressed
beech 1t is remarkably heavier. In re-
gard to the Hear OF the wood for cogs
it is stated : vht it will last a long time
